Coming off a 2-2 draw with Vancouver Whitecaps FC, Chivas USA enter this Wednesday’s match against Seattle Sounders FC with the determination to show in the final score the hard work and improvement that team has had in the past few games.

One player that has found his spark and has provided a lot to the team since his integration to the Red-and-White is forward Erick “Cubo” Torres. In just seven games in Major League Soccer, Torres has notched a total of six goals, four in the past two games. In last Sunday’s match, Torres scored a beautiful bicycle kick that now has him nominated for MLS Goal of the Week.

It’s that confidence that motivates Torres to continue his scoring streak in this Wednesday’s match against the Sounders, his second since joining the club in early July.

“I feel motivated to be able to help the team,” Torres said after Tuesday’s training in Seattle. “First of all, I thank my teammates because they are part of this, the coaching staff that has given me the confidence and God. I feel very motivated to continue scoring and responding well to the confidence that my teammates and coaching staff give me.”

Coming into Wednesday’s match, Chivas USA backline, which includes international defender Carlos Bocanegra, will not have to worry about Sounders' attackers Clint Dempsey and Eddie Johnson, who are currently serving their time with the U.S. Men's National Team ahead of the World Cup Qualifier. Regardless, Chivas USA will not let their guard down against an always dangerous Seattle.

“They have a good team. Obviously Clint and Eddie are gone with the National Team and Brad Evans picked up an injury last week. They’re key players who are not going to be there and that’s going to be a little bit of a boost for us,” Bocanegra said.

Chivas USA will look to add three points against Seattle Sounders FC this Wednesday, Sept. 4 at 7 p.m. (PT) at Century Link Field. Fans will be able to enjoy this Wednesday’s match live on Mundo Fox-22 as well as on W 690 AM Radio. For all the latest news and updates, make sure to follow us on Twitter: @cdchivasusa.
